Anthropic refused a $200M Pentagon weapons contract — now startups are racing to build what it wouldn’t

Anthropic's $200 million Pentagon contract collapsed over autonomous weapons limits. Now startups like Smack Technologies are raising millions to build what frontier AI labs refused — while research shows current AI systems escalate conflicts and cannot distinguish combatants from civilians.

В вашем случае это не работает…

Эта миниатюра, плод моего воображения, родилась из размышления о новой волне сокращения бюджета.Я, как человек творческий и прагматичный одновременно, могу трактовать эту "разнарядку сверху", с одной стороны, как тест на долб..бов в регионах, а другой - как поиск нестандартных подходов в решении стандартных вопросов. К тому же, отсутствие хоть сколько-нибудь внятной информации: Кто? Как? И чем? - делает данное распоряжение подобным нейросетевой галлюцинации по запросу (привет, Алиса и Гигачат). Ну... Read more

Как настроить сериализацию Kotlin Any с поддержкой Parcelable и Serializable в Android

Тема сериализации данных является базой для любого мобильного разработчика, поскольку используется для работы с сетью, файловой системой и коммуникацией между основными компонентами. Но есть в этом вопросе особенность, с которой я столкнулся впервые за 7 лет. Именно об этом открытии и пойдет речь в статье — о смеси двух методов сериализации, — а также о том, почему для решения этой задачи важно разбираться в работе разных видов classLoader.

I asked eight people who stayed in unhappy marriages for decades why they didn’t leave and not one of them said the children, the money, or the fear — every single one described the same internal calculation, and it wasn’t about staying. It was about what leaving would confirm about a decision they’d already spent years defending.

Over the past few years, I’ve interviewed eight people who stayed in unhappy marriages for decades before finally leaving. I expected them to cite the usual reasons: the children, the financial entanglement, the fear of being alone, the complexity of disentangling a shared life. Not one person mentioned those things first. Instead, every single conversation ... Read more Read more

Behavioral scientists found that the human brain doesn’t actually crave constant novelty. It craves pattern recognition and mastery, which means the person who finds genuine pleasure in their morning walk along the same route is neurologically closer to fulfillment than the person who needs every weekend to feel like an event

Most people assume the human brain is wired for constant novelty, that we’re built to chase the next experience, the new restaurant, the unfamiliar city. The cultural machinery around us certainly reinforces it. Social media rewards people who are always somewhere new, doing something different, collecting experiences like stamps. But the neuroscience points in a ... Read more Read more

People who get inexplicably emotional when someone is unexpectedly kind to them aren’t fragile — their nervous system has a very specific expectation of how the world operates, and genuine unprompted kindness violates that expectation so completely that the body doesn’t have a prepared response and defaults to the only honest reaction it has left

I was in a café a few months back, having one of those mornings where everything felt a bit much. The barista noticed I’d forgotten my wallet at the counter and brought it over to my table. Simple enough. But then she said something like, “Looks like you’ve got a lot on your mind. This ... Read more Read more

Social psychologists found that the people others describe as ‘intimidating’ are almost never aggressive — they’re simply present in a way that makes performative people uncomfortable, because authenticity exposes pretense without saying a word

I’ll admit something that took me years to understand about myself. For a long time, people told me I was intimidating. Not in the way that implies threat or aggression. In the way that comes with a slight lean backward, a careful recalibration of the conversation, a sudden awareness of posture. I couldn’t make sense ... Read more Read more

I grew up in a house where we didn’t throw food away, we didn’t leave lights on, and we didn’t buy what we didn’t need. I thought that was poverty. It took me twenty years to realize it was intelligence dressed in clothes that embarrassed me.

Growing up in a frugal household can feel like deprivation — but the restraint, planning, and resource awareness many children mistake for poverty often turn out to be a sophisticated form of intelligence that takes decades to recognise. Read more

The person who always drives, always plans the route, and always knows where everyone’s coat is isn’t Type A. They grew up in a household where someone had to be the infrastructure, and they never got reassigned.

I asked 11 hospice nurses what dying people talk about in their final weeks and not one mentioned career achievements. Every single answer pointed to the same category of regret, and it had nothing to do with what they did or didn’t accomplish.

Hospice workers report that dying patients almost never talk about career achievements. The regrets that surface in the final weeks center overwhelmingly on relationships — the ones left unrepaired, the presence never fully given, the people who drifted away while life got busy. Read more

Research suggests the reason your mother cries when she’s happy for you and your father goes quiet when he’s proud of you isn’t a generational difference — it’s that the emotion of watching the person you made succeed at the thing you were afraid they’d fail at overwhelms the two systems differently, and both the tears and the silence are the sound of a nervous system that cares more than the body knows how to express

When I landed my first real staff writer position after months of freelancing and financial panic, my mother cried. Not quiet tears, but the kind of crying that comes from somewhere deep and uncontrollable. She kept saying “I’m so happy for you” between sobs that didn’t match the words. My father went completely quiet. He ... Read more Read more

People who genuinely understand money but still feel broke aren’t bad with finances. They grew up in a system where having enough was redefined every time they relaxed, so their brain permanently registers stability as the moment before loss.

People who understand money but still feel broke aren't financially illiterate — they grew up in environments where stability was always the moment before loss, and their brains never stopped running that program. Read more
